There are different terms: version, release, edition, level.
Certainly introduced to confuse you and make you need the expensive IBM support.

For an OS upgrade I think the release matters most.?
You OS release is 6.1 - you said it.
uname -sr or uname -a might also state it.

If the -a flag is specified, or multiple flags are specified, all output is written on a single line, separated by spaces. The uname utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
